New aweful weapons.

[iceberg]

Was this thread name an insult towards the Awe weapons, or not?
I wonder, I wonder.

Okay the simple part first, Guardians can now swap their no-drops permanently by visiting Valencia in Battleon , selecting Visit Grumbugly, and then selecting Weapon Exchange. If you have an Awe Weapon she'll let you swap for any Awe or Guardian Weapon otherwise it'll only let you swap Guardian Weapons. She charges 20 Z-tokens to do a weapon swap.

New in the Guardian Tower and Inn are Temporary Spear no-drops. These have the same stats as the Dagger/Shortsword only they are of the Ranged type.

When you upgrade your Guardian Weapon to an Awe Weapon Valencia will give you an Awe Weapon matching the Guardian Weapon you had.

Now for the bit you all wanna see the new Awe Weapon Stats.

Awe Weapon No-Drops (Available as Temps from Valencia if you already have an Awe Item)

I don't see why everyone is complaining. It's a friggin' much-needed improvement and makes the Awe weapons actually useable in today's AQ.

[iceberg]

They just want to seem like they're cool kids, and have a say at anything.

That, or everyone is an idiot who never is satisfied no matter what is done.

I'm darn glad that they finally got around to making a Staff of Awe, although right now, it has as much innuendo, like Spear of Awe, as the Gumblade.

[Black Seraphim Zero]

smurfing PATHETIC.

Oh. My. God. Is it even possible for the AQ Staff to make something good for goddamn once?

I take it you aren't too thrilled with the new weapons?

This is what I'm talking about. We lost what, 2 Random to gain 3 base and an extra 4% BTH, as well as the ability to change it to a weapon type of our choice?

We finally have an Earth weapon that's actually WORTH THE SPACE IT PERMANENTLY OCCUPIES. And people still *****!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!

I'm as displeased with them as I am with "Nemu-sama".

[fry]

Drago I think in allot of cases as in mine it's the mere fact that it is a no drop permanent weapon,I just don't like people deciding stuff for me and ordering me around.

[Drago Goldenwing]

Yeah well, you'll learn to deal with it like the rest of us did.

It was REALLY cheesing off Rangers and Spellcasters though because they were saddled with a permanent Melee weapon. The staff level-scales the damage so that the blade is abusable at all levels, they release three other versions of it so Melee people aren't the only ones who can benefit anymore, they make it into a weapon I will actually USE and not complain about.
And then everyone ELSE starts complaining!
Seriously, that's ****** up.

[scgr]

its AW(E)some! i think its perfect i dont have to get a earth weapon!

[Black Seraphim Zero]

^The special damage is level-scaled. Not the reqular damage.

On second thought, I'm going to get a Staff of Awe. Even though it looks like ****.

[iceberg]

The weapons look like they are made of some material which radiates powerful power. Which gives you cancer.

And that's why they are awesome.

...No, the weapon's base/random damage scales by level. Read the print.
"All of these weapons have their base damage multiplied by 1.67 at level 40 , and then mulitplied by 1.6 at level 70 and then mulitplied by 1.13 at level 100.
All of these weapons have their random damage multiplied by 1.4 at level 40 , then multiplied by 1.21 at level 70.
All of these weapons recieve 2 extra BtH at level 40, and an additional 2 BtH at level 70 and an additional 2 BtH at Level 100."

[Black Seraphim Zero]

Ugh... So for a level 78 I should be getting 8-27... and I still have 6-13 damage?

[Drago Goldenwing]

Is that what you calculate it to be doing? The multipliers up there are cumulative. The previous multiplier stays in place even after you reach the next multiplier.

The damage listed on the weapon when you equip it is the base, it doesn't show damage after your level is accounted for.

I KNOW the Blade isn't that weak because when I equip Reign + IT and use it I consistently hit 80-100 on the first hit against 100% resistance. Not even Reign + IT could boost a 3-16 weapon to that kind of damage, Aegis.
